Expressways are a rather new concept for Vietnam. Traffic is growing rapidly but the major roads are dangerous due to inappropriate design and an inappropriate traffic mix. Expressways would solve these problems along the key corridors, by separating high speed traffic from slower, local traffic.

Vietnam currently recognizes two classes of expressway. Both have a minimum of two lanes in each direction, but Class A has grade separated interchanges, while Class B has at-grade intersections. There are 4 design-speed categories: 60, 80, 100 and 120&nbsp;km/h.<ref>{{Cite web |last=LawNet |title=Law No. 23/2008/QH12 of November 13, 2008, on road traffic Luật 23 2008,23/2008/QH12 |url=https://lawnet.vn/en/vb/23-2008-QH12-159C0.html |access-date=2024-09-15 |website=Law No. 23/2008/QH12 of November 13, 2008, on road traffic - LawNet |language=en}}</ref> Generally all cars, buses and trucks are permitted on the expressway but ''công nông'' (agricultural vehicles) and all types of motorcycles are not.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://tuoitrenews.vn/society/26332/motorbikes-entering-expressway-in-vietnam-could-be-confiscated|title=Motorbikes entering expressways in Vietnam could be confiscated|date=27 February 2015|publisher=Tuổi Trẻ News}}</ref>
